How to Install GoSƐ on Alpine Linux Latest

GoSƐ is an open-source security scanner developed by stv0g. It is designed to quickly find vulnerabilities in web applications.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of GoSƐ on the latest version of Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

• A machine running the latest version of Alpine Linux (either in a physical or virtual environment)
• Root access or a user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by GoSƐ. Open a terminal window and run the following commands in order to update the package list and install the required packages:

sudo apk update
sudo apk add go git

Step 2: Clone GoSƐ Repository

Once the dependencies are installed, you need to clone the GoSƐ repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository in the /opt directory:

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/stv0g/gose.git

Step 3: Build the GoSƐ Binary

After cloning the repository, navigate to the gose directory and run the following command to build the binary:

cd /opt/gose
sudo go build -o gose main.go

Step 4: Test GoSƐ

Once the binary is built, you can test GoSƐ to make sure it is working. Run the following command:

sudo ./gose -h 

This command should display the help message for the GoSƐ scanner.

Step 5: Add GoSƐ to the PATH

Finally, you need to add the GoSƐ binary to your system's PATH. Run the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gose' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile

This command will add the path of the gose binary to the system's PATH and make it available for all users.
